Short description
Jojo, a lonely German boy during World War II has his world shaken when he learns that his single mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home. Influenced by a buffoonish imaginary version of Adolf Hitler, he begins to question his beliefs and confront the conflict between propaganda and his own humanity.
What's left behind the scenes
- Sam Rockwell studied with a specialist to speak with the correct accent, and also studied how experienced actors like Marlon Brando (1924-2004), Ralph Fiennes, and Oskar Werner (1922-1984) played Germans. He then decided that his character should be someone like Bill Murray or Walter Matthau (1920-2000), but with a German accent.
- The film features authentic German equipment and weaponry. The same applies to the vehicles.
- The quote at the end of the film is taken from a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926).
- At the end of the film, the characters played by Sam Rockwell and Alfie Allen are shown wearing pink triangles on their uniforms – this was how homosexuals were marked in Nazi Germany.
